Unto Herself: A Devotional Anthology for Independent Goddesses

This morning I received notification that the latest anthology from Bibliotheca Alexandrina, entitled Unto Herself: A Devotional Anthology for Independent Goddesses, is now available. This anthology is one of a number that I had decided to submit articles to this year and the first I have received notification of actually being ready.

Naturally I am very excited and cannot wait to receive my own copy.

This volume consists a collection of prayers, poems, rituals, essays, and short stories written about an assortment of independent Goddesses including Artemis, Athena, Columbia, Coventina, Freyja, Hekate, Hestia, Isis, Kuan Yin, Lilith, Mary, Minerva, the Morrigan, Nehalennia, Neith, Skadhi, Tabiti, and Vesta. Amongst the contributions is my own essay on Neith.

The Table of Contents includes the following ...
